Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 223 Luring the wolf into the house
Wei Laosi's successful arrest caused a sensation throughout the Zhuzhou Public Security System.

It's not that the suspect is difficult to catch, but anyone who knows anything about this case knows that once Wei Laosi and Zhu Laowu's identities were entered into the national wanted list, it was only a matter of time before they were caught.

Therefore, what truly caused a sensation in the police force was not the criminals, but a police cat named Mimi.

This cat single-handedly solved two major cases that shocked the province and arrested all the suspects in both cases!

A cat! It accomplished what over a thousand police officers in Zhuzhou City couldn't do—a truly miraculous feat.

Of course, Zhuzhou police were involved, and some brave comrades were injured as a result. In addition, there were various other tasks in the system. So it cannot be said that Zhuzhou police were incompetent.

However, it's still too conspicuous!
The first murder and dismemberment case in Bailing Village was entirely this cat's solo act! From discovering the remains to finding clues, to finding the suspects and arresting both the real and fake suspects, it was all thanks to this cat! This little guy led the police dog squad that inexplicably became a cat's subordinates, and stole all the important credit for the case from the professional criminal investigation police in Zhuzhou City, leaving not a single bit of it behind.

The second case, the tomb murder case, was even discovered by this cat from the very beginning!

It was the cat that found the body! It was also this cat that led the team that tracked down and arrested the primary suspect, Wu Laosan! And then… while all the police were still busy searching for the real killer, it was this cat again! This guy not only personally found the suspect Wei Laosi, but even persuaded another person involved, Xu Laoer, to surrender. Holy crap! How does a cat convince people like that?!

The cat played an extra role in the entire process of Wei Laosi's arrest!

This bastard even got involved in the entire arrest process; whether it was arresting Jiang, Wu Laosan, or Wei Laosi, he took action against them all.

It even recorded a close-up video of Wei Laosi and Xu Laoer's conversation, allowing the police to finally understand the whole story of the tomb murder case, providing evidence for Wei Laosi's crime, and providing important assistance for the subsequent interrogation and case solving.

Is this something a cat should do?

That's outrageous! That's incredible!

I want one of those police cats!
Lin Ge was already very famous in the Zhuzhou Public Security System, and now he has instantly become a well-known figure.

Thanks to it, the Zhuzhou Public Security Bureau can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The swift resolution of two major cases that shocked the province finally provides a positive explanation to the authorities and the people, and deters criminals from running rampant again.

After working overtime for countless days, the sudden news that get off work would resume normally the next day left everyone feeling somewhat dazed, unsure whether it was just a hallucination.

Some of the more sensitive policewomen even covered their faces and sobbed.

God knows how desperate it must be for a woman to be stuck in the station day and night, unable to even wash up, and reeking of foul odor.

And all of this was made possible thanks to that adorable Mimi.

The policewomen all adore Mimi.

Ah!
Lin Ge used his charm to lure the unrelated elderly woman away from the criminals. This scene was clearly captured by the body camera and has quickly spread throughout the Zhuzhou Public Security Bureau system, and is still spreading outwards.

Lin Ge desperately wanted to die.

Especially when Sun Chang, who couldn't stay still in the ward, showed Lin Ge pictures of cats acting cute from the perspective of a law enforcement recorder, Lin Ge even had an impulse to destroy the world.

I have no idea which damn plainclothes officer hid the body camera so well, recording the footage without a single shake. Both Lin Ge's movements and his coquettish voice sounded so...sweet!

Hiding in the hotel, Lingo vowed not to go out under any circumstances until things calmed down.

However, when Deputy Director Yang of the Municipal Public Security Bureau personally came to his door, saying that the case had changed and that Mimi's help was needed, Lin Ge still had to come to the Zhuzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau again with a gloomy expression.

He just didn't understand why there were so many problems when he was just a cat.
"Hehe...the capable should do more, Mimi, don't be angry."

Deputy Director Yang chuckled and then said to Zhang Ke beside him, "Besides, although Mimi worked a bit harder, your Zhangzhou Public Security Bureau also benefited quite a bit. Because of Mimi's efforts, we gave Zhangzhou the qualification to test a set of the latest road surveillance system without hesitation. Putting aside its considerable value, its 4K resolution and perfect compatibility with the Skynet system alone make it a great tool that leaves no criminal suspect with nowhere to hide."

"You're really willing to give us something this powerful?"

Lin Ge looked up at Deputy Director Yang, wanting to ask him this question.

"It has high requirements for roads and back-end processing personnel. In addition, there are many old urban areas in Zhuzhou, so it would be a waste to install it now. We will use ordinary surveillance cameras for now, and we will install more advanced ones after the city renovation is completed and you have finished testing."

Deputy Director Yang didn't try to hide anything from his own side, revealing his ugly face with a smile. Then he led Lin Ge and Zhang Ke to the case-handling area, stopping in front of Xie Changjun, who was working at his desk.

"Hey? Director Yang, what's up... Mimi!"

Upon seeing Deputy Director Yang, Xie Changjun paused for a moment. But upon seeing Lin Ge, he immediately stood up with great joy. Deputy Director Yang, without mincing words, waved his hand dismissively and said, "Cat, I've managed to get you here. Comrade Xie, you won't be knocking on my door again, will you? To be honest, Zhuzhou City is just a transit point in your telecom fraud case. Your relentless efforts are giving me a headache. The comrades I sent to work with you have complained to me more than once. Seeing everyone else get a couple of days off, while they have to work overtime with you every day, who can keep up? People aren't made of iron, and police officers aren't gods. You, Xie Changjun, work hard on official business and need to achieve results. But they were all pulled from their busy schedules and have already been working overtime for a long time."

It was rare for Deputy Director Yang to talk to Xie Changjun at such a long length, indicating that he had indeed been troubled by Xie Changjun's work style these past few days.

Xie Changjun chuckled but didn't reply.

It seems to him that if someone can be ordered around, why not make them work their butts off? They won't wait forever.

Lin Ge, who was standing to the side, also noticed it.

It seems that while I've been hiding in the hotel for the past two days, Xie Changjun has stirred up a hornet's nest at the Zhuzhou Public Security Bureau. I wonder what he did to warrant someone complaining directly to the bureau chief's office.

"So what if I led a few of them through a garbage mountain for a day and then spent two days running around a recycling station?"

Xie Changjun chuckled, not thinking he had done anything wrong. What criminal investigator doesn't work hard to solve cases? If you find it too tough and tiring, then you might as well quit criminal investigation and go to some other, easier department to retire.

"Go through the trash!"

Lin Ge recalled an unpleasant past event: the rotten orange swamp on Fragrant Orange Island, which seemed no different from a garbage dump.

Seeing that Deputy Director Yang wanted to say more, Xie Changjun suddenly interrupted, "By the way! Director Yang, you brought Mimi just in time. We found an even more perfect package, and even the tracking number label is mostly intact, which I successfully pieced together. Based on the tracking number, we can confirm that it's one of the gold bar packages sent by the victim in Jinhua City! It was opened in Zhuzhou City! This place is more than just a transit point!"

Deputy Director Yang, forgetting his anger, frowned slightly and said, "You mean, there are accomplices of their organization in Zhuzhou? According to what you said before, this is only the second stop, and they dare not give up their disguise?"

Xie Changjun nodded and said, "That's the truth. I found this cardboard box at a recycling station closest to the courier station. I was lucky; the person who picked it up carefully folded it up and stacked it with other courier boxes before selling it, preserving the integrity of the marks as much as possible. I've already asked Xiao Que to ask the forensic team to collect some valid fingerprints or other relevant information from it."

Deputy Director Yang's face darkened again: "Who gave you the right to hire the forensic department to do your work without my consent?"

"I just saw another policeman from out of town occupying the interrogation room quite frequently every day, so I just followed suit. Besides, we're all doing this to solve cases, so please just pretend you didn't see it."

Xie Changjun gave Lin Ge a cunning look, which made Lin Ge's expression turn extremely bad.

You bastard Qian Wei, look what you've done!

"You..."

Deputy Director Yang now deeply regrets his decision. Why did he agree to Mimi's request? Why did he give this bastard Xie Changjun a free pass?
This guy really knows how to seize an opportunity; in just a few days, he's got the Zhuzhou police completely under his thumb.

How come I didn't realize back then that this guy was so shameless? No, no! A bastard who dares to block the director's office for three days straight, no matter how honest and simple he pretends to be, is definitely a cunning fellow!

Damn it! I've been tricked!
Deputy Director Yang was filled with regret!
Lin Ge stared at Xie Changjun in disbelief, discovering for the first time that this guy's true colors were like this.

But that’s right!

How could a guy who allows his son to watch anime, play with figurines, and even linger in arcades be a rigid and honest person?
It can only be said that everyone was deceived by Xie Changjun; this bastard's true colors are not what they appeared to be at all. It's also possible that he will show a different face once he encounters a case or discovers something interesting.

Lin Ge glanced apologetically at Deputy Director Yang.

I'm sorry, I let the wolf into the house.

But... it's a case anyway, so a little hard work is fine! Let's hurry up and finish the case, get this guy out of here as soon as possible, then you'll all be free, right? Hehe...

Lin Ge chuckled to himself, unaware that Xie Changjun had set his sights on the cat again.

"Mimi, I have a favor to ask you."

Staring intently at Lin Ge, Xie Changjun squatted down and patted Lin Ge's head: "I've been hearing the discussions at the Municipal Bureau these past few days. You really are a capable cat. Here's the thing, I hope you can help me smell the cardboard box and see if we can find a few more people who have been in contact with it. Then I'll take you to their homes one by one, patiently and carefully questioning them. If we're lucky, we might be able to directly identify the suspects and pull out an important link in their transportation network... Ouch! You, why are you scratching me?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Changjun was scratched by Lin Ge, and three thin white lines appeared on the back of his hand, almost drawing blood.

"I'm not just going to scratch you, I'm going to kill you!"

Lin Ge glared fiercely at the bastard who used the cat as a laborer.
